You don’t become an emerging world power without taking time every once and a while to blow off some steam.
ITN News reports on the annual staple of the Shanghai club scene for young Chinese working stiffs, where at the the start of the Christmas holidays co-workers take to moshing and pillow fighting with each other to have a good time:
Jealous?

Posted on December 25, 2011 at 2:07amHard work and an industrial mind can make you a fortune? In China? What a seriously fat lie. You’ve heard of the suicides at apple right? That’s just the tip of the ice berg, and there is a reason for that. MOST workers (emphasis added) in China have little to hope for. In China the vast majority do not have the freedom to choose where they can live or work, you can’t just change your job if you want to, and most will be there for LIFE!. Odds of ever being promoted are zero and you don’t get paid enough to survive let alone make a fortune, and this after working 7 days a week, 12 hours a day or more. So you are faced with the same monotonous job, day in, day out, no end in site, nothing to be gained. Also, when they talk about illegal immigration, they are talking about Chinese citizens moving from one city to another. Most workers in China have no hope.
God bless them, one and all.

Posted on December 24, 2011 at 11:31amI bet they are really partying and celebrating in China, after yet another year of selling us billions of dollars worth of their cheap, Chinese crap. On a side note, it’s a well-known fact that everything that comes from China seems to contain lead, but recently, I bought a pack of fishing weights from Walmart, but when I used them, they rusted. It seems the one thing from China that is actually supposed to contain lead doesn’t….I find that just a little ironic…….Merry Christmas!

“We wish you a communist christmas – we wish you a communist christman – and the take over is so very near…no more freedom for you – complain and face the wall – the TSA will be made into our own KGB…”
